In real estate, its all about location, location, location. And you can’t get a location any more premium than 13 Walla Vista, nestled right into the oceanfront sand dunes of Stinson Beach, which is why the home comes with a premium price tag of $5,995,000 for a mere 1,688 square feet.

Of course, that price is for both the internal square footage as well as the over 7,500-square-foot beachfront lot. Given that the vastly larger exterior space is the big draw, the C-shaped home wisely opens up to the outdoors whenever possible. The open concept entertainment space is centered around a large stone patio, with accordion-style glass walls that fold away for easy indoor-outdoor living. The patio has room for seating, a modern concrete ping-pong table and a private hot tub.

A similar-style glass wall opens up the whole back of the home to the private sand dune. There’s plenty of S’mores-making opportunities courtesy of the beachfront gas fire pit, and the beach itself has gorgeous views of Bolinas Bay.

Though the emphasis may be outside, the interior space is lovely as well. The 1980 home underwent a massive remodel in 2013, according to the marketing site, and unique beach-y touches were added throughout. The reclaimed teak hardwood floors were salvaged from a boat and the custom tile in one of the two bathrooms is reminiscent of beach glass. (There’s also an enclosed outdoor shower.)

The home last came to market just three years ago, asking $5,550,000 at the end of June and selling for $5,300,000 just before Labor Day. Now we’ll have a chance to see what the appetite is for a beachfront home that comes to market in the middle of rainy season.
